1. Course DescriptionThis is the first course in Water Resources Engineering. The course covers the following topics:fluid properties; fluid statics and motion, pressure and force under hydrostatic conditions,manometers, buoyancy and stability of floating and submerged bodies, mass, energy and momentumconservation laws; dimensional analysis and modeling; fluid measurements.2. Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:1. Describe the fluid physical properties (a)2. Understand the concept of fluid pressure (or normal stress) and the importance ofhydrostatic forces in estimation of the stability of hydraulic structures (e.g., gates/dams)(a, e)3. Understand and apply the conservation laws of mass (the continuity equation); energy(the Bernoulli equation) and momentum (the force equation) (a, e)4. Understand the similitude concepts and what is the difference between a model and aprototype? (a, e)

4. Pedagogy Learning Process

Fluid mechanics course will be taught using a variety of pedagogical models. These will includetheory-led teaching, case-method education and project-based/team-based. Teaching based onexposition of theory will be applied to fluid mechanics. Learning the fundamentals in math andphysics will be prerequisites to the development and application of water resources engineeringskills.Case-method teaching will use real-world business experiences in order to demonstrate theapplication of general principles and to apply them to specific problems posed during the course ofinstruction.Project-based and team-based education will be experiential; students will learn by doing, as much asthey would in a natural sciences laboratory class. Project-based education will also give students anopportunity to learn how to assemble and coordinate necessary information, assert authority anddelegate responsibility. This is particularly important in the industry, in which the essential tasks arethe management of people and information.It will be common in CE courses for all pedagogical approaches to be employed. The CE facultymembers will bring together theory-based instruction and an intimate understanding of state-of-theart professional practices.

8. AttendanceFor all students, absence is marked at a maximum of 30% of total class time. Final dismissals (WA)will be posted on the students academic record. The calculation of the absence percentage is basedon the total number of class meetings, regardless of the length of the meetings. For example, if aclass meets once a week for 15 weeks, then a student would need 5 absences to reach the 30%threshold.Students will be considered absent if they do not arrive on time for a lesson. Taking attendance willstart on the first day of classes and will continue until the last day of classes in the semester.Final Dismissal will not be waived under any circumstances. The Registrar's Office will acceptexcuses only from students missing an exam/major assignment due to absence. Students will bepermitted to take a make-up exam, if its weight is at least 10% of the course total mark uponapproval of a legitimate excuse.Exams/Tests will be repeated when serious reasons similar to the following take place anddocumented evidence are submitted to the Office of the Registrar on the day student returns to class. Hospitalization, Contagious Disease, Death, may God forbid, of an immediate family member (father, mother, sibling, husband,son, daughter, grandparent), Car Accident, Job Requirement (special assignment), with prior written approval from the Office of theRegistrar4

Al Haj

Al UmraAl Umra trips are not valid excuses for students to be absent.In the case of excused absence for a final exam, the student has to apply for an Incomplete (I) gradeat the Office of the Registrar within 48 hours of the exam.9. Academic IntegrityThe mission of ADU includes developing students sense of ethics, morality, and socialresponsibility. Students at ADU have the fundamental obligation to conduct themselves with utmostintegrity. To ensure an education environment characterized with Academic integrity (AI), ADU hasrevised its Academic Integrity Policy (AIP).The revised Academic Integrity Policy (AIP) copies available on the intranet under the link of theOffice of Academic Integrity (OAI) has identified violations of AI punishable by serious penalties,including dismissal from ADU. The types of violations identified in AIP, along with thedescription and examples of each violation, are:1.2.3.4.5.6.

At the beginning of each semester, your instructor will review the essential elements of AIP in classand will describe the intrinsic values of compliance, and the consequences of non-compliance (i.e.,penalties) with the Policy. In addition, OAI undertakes a widespread AI Awareness Campaign at thebeginning of each semester to educate students about AI issues and the ways students can avoidviolations.In view of resources provided by ADU in this regard, all students are expected to strictly complywith the tenet of AIP and conduct themselves with highest degree of integrity and ethical conduct.Students in need of additional information or assistance are requested to seek help from OAI.Failure to comply with the provisions of AIP will have severe consequences, including dismissalfrom ADU.10. Miscellaneous

Mobile phones: A student whose mobile phone rings during class will be asked toleave the classroom and will receive a half absence. Should this happen during an exam, thestudent will not be allowed to retake the exam at another time, while at the same timereceiving a full absence.

Eating/Drinking/Smoking: Students will be requested to refrain from engaging in

these activities while in class.

Only emails from university-provided email accounts will be recognized and used inthis course.
